Vegetable & chicken one-pot or slow cooker

This is yummy and can be cooked quickly on stove top or slowly in crockpot. It tastes similar to a chicken soup I had a Carrabas. If you don't like the heat add less of the red pepper flakes.

makes 6 servings. Prep 15 minutes cook: 20 minutes or 4 hours on high in slow cooker. I found this in an old Family Circle 05 , for stove top. I used a crockpot. Note: THIS can be served as soup, or on top of rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.Ingredients

2 medium size ripe tomatoes, cored, seeds squeezed out OR can of quartered tomatoes without the juice in the can.

1/2 cup fresh basil, slice to add just before serving---HOWEVER I put mine in the crockpot and it made it very nice in flavor

1/2 teaspoon or so of dijon mustard or stone ground mustard (I like inglehoffer) This is added at the end of cooking when you thicken with the cornstarch

Note: instead of mustard you can use 1 tab balsamic vinegar if desired

For slow-cooker:

1.Place broth, tomatoes, carrots, stringbeans in crockpot.
2. In skillet cook onions, eggplant for 5-7 minutes until tender adding garlic during last few minutes. Add to crockpot.
3. Add Italian seasoning, basil and chicken
4. Cook on high 4 hours. When done, break up chicken with large spoon. Mix cornstarch and mustard with 1/4 cup water. Add to the crockpot and stir while doing this. Cook on high for 10 minutes until thickened. Serve as a soup, or on rice or noodles or potatoes. You can thicken further if desired.

For stove top:1. In medium pot bring some water to boil. Add carots and beans and cook for 5 minutes or until crisp tender.

2. Meanwhile with 1 tab of oil in a skillet cook cut up chicken with salt and pepper, until chicken is cooked through--about 6-7 minutes since you have cut it in 1/2 inch pieces. REMOVE from pan.

3. In same skillet add 1 tab oil and cook onion, eggplant, and(adding garlic near end of cook time); cook for 7 minutes, until eggplant is tender. Add a bit of water if needed.
